Biography

Dr. Gould Rothberg is currently appointed as Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine (Medical Oncology) at the Yale School of Medicine with secondary appointments in the Departments of Chronic Disease Epidemiology and Pathology. She received her MD (1994), MPH (2005) and PhD in Epidemiology (2009) all from Yale University. She completed her Internal Medicine residency in June 2016. Prior to rejoining Yale in 2003, she was employed at CuraGen Corporation, a start-up genomics company in New Haven, where she led the research team in Pharmacogenomics as well as contributed to as a clinician to their Phase I drug program (1997-2002). Her current research is focused on developing comprehensive prognostic models for early-stage cancers where the risk of recurrence following curative surgery is ~50% in the setting of standard active surveillance. Using melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer as model systems, she is evaluating the associations of tumor somatic mutations, germline genetic variation, gene expression and modifiable lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, energy balance, quality of life) with outcome with the intent of determining predictors of prognosis that can be translated into the clinic. Towards this goal, Dr. Gould Rothberg's lab has in-house sequencing capacity to complete whole exome and transcriptome analyses on the Ion Torrent platform and her lab is interested in developing bioinformatic and statistical pipelines to support the needed data analysis and modeling. Lastly, Dr. Gould Rothberg currently serves as the Medical Director of the Yale Lung and Gastrointestinal Cancer Biorepositories where she oversees all aspects of participant recruitment, biospecimen handling and laboratory information management.

How will my information be used?

When you express interest in a specific study, the information from your profile will be sent to the doctor conducting that study. If you're eligible to participate, you may be contacted by a nurse or study coordinator.

If you select a health category rather than a specific study, doctors who have active studies in that area may contact you to ask if you would like to participate.

In both cases, you will be contacted by the preferred method (email or phone) that you specified in your profile.
